- Unlike previous sessions, Oregon is shying away from controversial proposals to raise some of the most prominent taxes. Is this an illusion or a new reality?
- The House Revenue Committee is diving deeper into a proposal to require uniform income tax rules between state and local governments. Local control is always a sticky issue, but the committee seems keen on exploring the matter further.
- The Senate Finance & Revenue Committee discussed a proposal to extend and potentially expand the state's program allowing pass-through businesses to pay their taxes as an entity, saving their owners and shareholders substantial money on their federal taxes.
